WEBVTT - AFL Preview with Damian Tardio - Thu 26 Jun, 2025

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Twenty two past five. Now, Damien, do you like this?

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Damian Tardio, senior audio producer of Breakfast with Ross and Russ.

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm calling you.

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Is that right, creative director or something like.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>That, senior creative director. That's what you put on your

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>LinkedIn page. Does anybody believe anything on those things?

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Now? No?

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>No, that's right. Did you see the episode of Simpsons

0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>where Marge went for a job and Maggie the daughter

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>had written the resume and mister Burns is sitting the

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>other end and saying, oh, Swahiley, you can talk Swahaley. Oh,

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I thought Galileo invented. That was classic Simpsons. It's all

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the weird stuff. Now. Look, I love footy, I love AFL,

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I love you, Damo, but I've lost a bit of

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>track with what's going on. So we're up to around sixteen.

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Can you give us some footy tips and tell me

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>what's going on?

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Please? Round sixteen kicks off tonight at the Adelaide Oval.

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>It's Port Adelaide taking on Carlton Carlson, all sorts of trouble.

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Michael Voss under the pump and he has swung the axe.

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>In comes Jordan Boyd Lewis Young, Billy Wilson and Flynn Young.

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Two debutantes out goes Corey Durdon, Mark Pittnett, Jackson Bins

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>and Matthew Carroll. Port adelaid. They've also made four changes

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 2>are literally at Logan Evans, Hugh Jackson and Travis Bot

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>come in out Jackson Meade, Jeremy Finlason, Ryan Burton and

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Christian Murray's Carlton was a shocking turn up on Saturday

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>against North Melbourne. They've pretty much shot themselves in the

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 2>foot season pretty much over. It's going to be a

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>hard task for the Blues to make the eight from here.

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be almost pretty much impossible

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and Michael Voss for the next nine weeks will be

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>coaching for his career. I think we'll see a response

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>though tonight and I'm tipping the Blues to take the chocolates.

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, that's good news for the Blue supporters. How

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>bad was it against North Melbourne? Was it just insipid?

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 2>It was listless. It was a lack of intensity and

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>North Melbourne just ran rings around the Carlton.

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>That field and where's North in the whole? Were scheme

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of things. That's unexpected for North Melbourne to come in

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and just blast the Shies and out of the Blues.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's just North Melbourne's fourth win of the year.

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 2>They're shitting sixteenth on the ladder, so we know where

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 2>they're going. No, they're a team on the rise. But Carlton,

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 2>we were expecting better from them on Saturday it was

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>a destroyation. It was an absolute destroyation of the MCG

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 2>and Carlton a shis and housing.

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>He's listening, He's okay, no worries. What else.

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow night it's a Sydney taking on the Western Bulldogs

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>at the SCG. Marcus Bonton Pelly's two hundred and fiftieth game.

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I think the Swans they've sort of turned a corner

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and improved, but the Dogs will be too strong and

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 2>they'll win that one.

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, nice one, thank you dame. Let's go to this

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>game here. The Sun's taking on Melbourne.

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Gold Coast at home to the Day's on Saturday afternoon.

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>This is three aw's Match of the Day for Saturday

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 2>afternoon Melbourne. Similar situation of Carlton. Many expected them to

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>rebound this year, but the Sun should be too strong.

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 2>At home and then the twilight game on Saturday's Hawthorne

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and North Melbourne. You know what, despite the fact that

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 2>North Melbourne were impressive last week, Hawthorne or to play

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>for they're on the cusp of the top four. The

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Hawks will be very, very too strong for the Kangaroos

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday twilight.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>How exciting? How excited is your breakfast hosts ros Stevenson.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Look, you know what, I think the Hawks reporters. They

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>were up and about early on in the season, but

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 2>I just think they've tempered their expectations in the last

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 2>few weeks. But don't you worry they'll be up and

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 2>about coming to the end of the season and approaching

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>the finals.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm going too long here and get more time.

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I got the hang over the Pies about Damye you

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>picked the game.

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Pies and Eagles or Pies will win this one easily. Okay,

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>what about the other one Sunday afternoon? This is throw's

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>match of the day on Sunday Richmond taking on the

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Adelaide Crows. I'm chipping the Adelaide Crows to kick an

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>absolute cricket score against the Tigers. Then the final game

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>of this round more buyers. This round, it's the Fremantle

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Dockers taking on Saint Kilda at Opta Stadium. Ross Lyons Saints,

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I reckon they're going to cause an upset against his

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>old side, the Dockers.

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>There you go. Footy tips of Damian Tardio
